I think he was talking about showing up in the "network neighborhood", but I could be wrong... Anyway, it's hosts.ini, smbhosts.ini, or either with a .txt or no extension. I'm a looong way away from my setup, but check your Windows directories for files that look like these and that'll be it. That, and the host/hostalias functions in DX, are only for using in the place of IP addresses, not in the network neighborhood. As other ppl said, you'll need Samba installed for that. Be warned though, it does have problems with XP (in my experience anyway)...
Engineers do it with precision
